No that is a misconception.
According to the New Yorker magazine's article there were a wide variety of detainees in the facility. They roughly fit into a few different categories:
1.) POWS (of which there were a few)
2.) Civilian Prisoners (looters / shoplifters)
3.) people picked up on sweeps (wrong place / wrong time)
4.) Probably some random unlucky fuckers
They haven't said WHO they will compesate yet...I seriously doubt they will award money to any surviving enemy soldier.

Of course it's one thing to compensate the families of civilians killed. But now we're talking about compensating people who were fighting against us directly.
I think what happened to the prisoners is disgusting and it makes me sick to think our people did that shit. But paying them, and or how they do compensation is going to make me wonder because it's all about politics.
